Skye Wallace makes her Six Shooter debut with her new single, “Truth Be Told,” in which she holds a mirror to all the past versions of herself and reflects on how each imperfect fragment is a valuable piece worthy of love. Set against a backdrop of psychedelic rock vibes, “Truth Be Told” is a journey through Wallace’s psyche as she studies the ways in which each awkward flaw is an invitation to embrace the person she’s become. Sometimes it takes a good hard look in the mirror to see ourselves clearly.

The Dead South pay their respects to a legendary Nashville tune with their take on “Will The Circle Be Unbroken.” Beginning with gentle guitar-picking and stark vocals which are later joined by cello, banjo, and mandolin, their version takes on a mournful tone that lays bare the folk hymn’s sorrowful story of departure.

“Will The Circle Be Unbroken” will be featured on upcoming companion EPs Easy Listening For Jerks, Part I and II.

In “Keep It In The Ground” and “Quiet This Morning,” two new songs by The Violet Archers, frontman Tim Vesely makes his thoughts on the climate crisis clear. “I think of it as me expressing myself as an individual, and then hopefully striking a chord with other people who are thinking along the same lines, and then creating a vibration that’s a little bigger than myself,” Vesely says.

“Keep It In The Ground” employs Vesely’s natural indie pop sensibilities complete with a blues-based upbeat guitar riff, carrying his urgent warning message with gusto. “Quiet This Morning” has a ruminative pace and a post-apocalyptic approach that is equal in alarm. “The main thought in both songs is how we have failed to appreciate how good we’ve had it, how fortunate we’ve been to have hit this sweet spot in which we’ve been able to thrive as a species,” Vesely reflects. “But it’s a precariously balanced sweet spot and there are physical limits to our thriving which is accelerating out of control.”

The Dead South have released their version of “People Are Strange” with a new video, and it’s out of this world. Watch as our beloved bearded quartet are beamed into a Banj-UFO one by one and are forced to play in front of an intergalactic audience.

Rich with quality finger picking and replete with harmonies, Easy Listening for Jerks offers many new moods of songs we think we know so well. Pre-save the forthcoming Part I & II EPs for more ravenous reimaginings of country classics and hard rock reveries. 

Like all true Scorpios, “I Am Water” is ruled by a vast force of emotion, just as the tide is controlled by the moon. Powered by alarm and elation, the new song celebrates moving our bodies. “But we coincide,” Leah and Peter sing; we are here, now, together. When we face the cosmic improbability of it all, we can dance.

Release and unleash, be pulled by the moon out into the night. Dive into “I Am Water,” produced and mixed by Graham Walsh, in the video below.

We are thrilled to welcome JULY TALK to the Six Shooter world. This new era also brings the founding of Danuta, a home base for Leah Fay Goldstein and Peter Dreimanis’ many artistic pursuits.
